The new style ones look and fit great and are a good price from http://www.mtb-direct.co.uk at £41.99. Madison informed me they are much improved from the last model. I haven’t tried them on the bike yet though!

I bought a set of these from a seller on Ebay but was refunded as they were out of stock. Sounds like a lucky escape, might have to take a punt on the new design, £42 makes them the cheapest waterproof trail shorts out there.

Does anyone with experience of both think the Altura Attacks are worth £10 more than the new Tempests? I would imagine aftersales care from both manufacturers should be pretty spot on.
